#WritingWonders 28 Aug: Who's the first character you created for The Atrocity Archive (Laundry Files book 0.5)?
It was Bob. Definitely Bob. Then I added Andy when I needed a manager-figure. And a couple of others who ended up as shrunken heads on Angleton's Newton's Cradle, when I needed them—but it all started with Bob, and that universe revolved around him until I was halfway through "The Concrete Jungle".
(God, and by God I mean Cthulhu, I'm so tired of Bob.)
